Card of the Day - Best Anniversary Ever

 Hello and welcome back! While today's card is not part of my unloved stamps challenge, I have used some retired paper and embellishments.

As it turns out, I do have several anniversaries this month, and since they are all members of my church, I felt like I needed to give them different cards. Not that they would be comparing, but you never know!

I love the bright and cheery colors in this suite, perfect for this time of year when the light is disappearing and everything looks dreary.

I'll be hand delivering this card because I don't think the buttons will make it through the mail, but they are cute!

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Fab Friday Challenges.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Paper Plunge 22 - Scoring Challenge

Hello again! I've missed the last few weeks at The Paper Plunge - I've gone back to my day job for a couple of months and it's really messing with my crafting time! I'm hoping to get a couple of these in while I'm working, so here's my card for this week's challenge:

I fell in love with this cutie-patootie stamp set as soon as I saw it! I have a friend who's been dealing with some major health issues and tomorrow is her birthday, so I'll be bringing this to her with some flowers. I hope it cheers her up!

I used the Simply Scored Borders Plate to create the "waves" at the bottom, then sponged them with ink to bring them out a bit. I colored in the bunnies with my Blendabilities. Since I only have a couple of color combo sets, I decided to coordinate my colors with the cardstock and DSP. I added the baker's twine bows by piercing holes on either side of the bunny ears and threading the twine through to tie the bows. Now they look a bit more girly! :)

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
